Common Situations We Resolve
Every estate is unique, but the challenges are often shared. We've seen it all.
Dying Without a Will (Intestacy)
A family member has passed away without leaving a valid will, leading to uncertainty about asset distribution and legal procedures.
"Without a will, state laws dictate asset distribution, often conflicting with the deceased's wishes or family expectations, causing disputes and delays."
Contesting a Will
A will has been presented, but one or more beneficiaries or family members believe it is invalid due to undue influence, lack of capacity, or improper execution.
"Disputes over a will's validity can halt estate proceedings, create deep family divisions, and lead to costly litigation."
Complex Estate Administration
The appointed executor or administrator faces difficulties managing the deceased’s assets, debts, taxes, and distributions, especially for large or complicated estates.
"Executors often struggle with legal requirements, financial complexities, and beneficiary expectations, risking personal liability and prolonged estate settlement."
Managing Creditor Claims Against Estate
After a death, creditors come forward seeking payment from the deceased’s estate, and the executor needs to properly manage these claims.
"Improper handling of creditor claims can lead to personal liability for the executor, depletion of estate assets, or legal disputes with creditors."

Georgia Probate Basics
What is Probate?
Simply put, it's the court-supervised process of authenticating a will (if one exists) and distributing assets. In Georgia, this happens in the Probate Court of the county where the deceased lived.
Key Terms
Executor/Administrator: The person in charge.
Letters Testamentary: The court document giving you authority to act.
Timeline
It's rarely quick. Expect a minimum of 6 months, often longer if property needs to be sold or heirs disagree.

Schedule Your Free CallFrequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common concerns.
In most cases, yes — if the deceased owned real property or had assets solely in their name, probate is required to legally transfer those assets. Small estates under $10,000 may qualify for a simplified process.
Typically 6 to 12 months minimum in Georgia. Complex estates with property sales, creditor disputes, or family disagreements can take much longer. We help you set realistic expectations from day one.
Mortgages and liens must be addressed during probate. The estate is responsible for debts, and property can still be sold — we help coordinate with lenders and title companies to resolve these issues.
That’s completely normal with probate properties. We can coordinate clean-outs, get repair estimates, or connect you with cash buyers who purchase as-is. You have options regardless of the property’s condition.
In some cases, yes — with court approval. Georgia allows executors to petition for the sale of estate property during probate. We can guide you through the process and timeline.
Absolutely. Many of our clients are out-of-state heirs or executors. We handle the local coordination — property inspections, clean-outs, contractor management, and more — so you don’t have to travel back and forth.
Yes. We regularly coordinate with probate attorneys across Georgia. If you don’t have one, we can refer you to trusted attorneys in the relevant county. We handle the practical side while they handle the legal side.
